Heat Top Spurs 97-94 For First Win Of The Preseason

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The atmosphere inside the American Airlines Arena didn’t feel like it was a preseason game on Monday night, but it was.

Gerald Green scored 17 points to help the Miami Heat get their first win of the exhibition season with a 97-94 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.

San Antonio led 84-71 after three quarters. But with both teams resting their starters in favor of younger players, the Heat outscored the Spurs 26-10 in the fourth.
